Many people say that trading is difficult, but the real difficulty lies in one word—human nature. The seemingly simple trading logic becomes a mess in real trading. Greed, fear, impatience, luck—these human weaknesses are exposed in the face of the market. Long-term stable profitable traders are often those who can fight against themselves; they cut losses when needed, hold positions when appropriate, and are not driven by emotions. To put it simply, trading is not about how advanced your skills are, but how strong your psychological resilience is. Only by overcoming yourself can you conquer the market.

That's quite right, but do you know? The real money makers don't care about these motivational clichés; they've long since automated their betting agreements. --- Human weakness—this is how I fund my three kids' education expenses. Stopping losses is too amateurish; arbitrage from forks is the way to go. --- Sounds good, but project teams rely on selling this kind of "psychological reassurance" to fleece investors; the tricks are all the same. --- Having strong psychological resilience is useless if you don't do proper vulnerability audits—you're just as likely to get liquidated. That's the reality. --- Yeah, so I've always stuck to a white-hat mindset in trading. Don't let emotions control you, and don't be manipulated by project teams either. You need to guard against both.

That's right, I just lost here; my mental resilience is indeed terrible.

That's a great point. I'm the kind of person who knows I should cut losses but can't bring myself to do it. I keep fooling myself by saying "wait a bit, it might rebound," and then I end up losing a lot.
